TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

FRAME AND MATERIAL Orbea frames are carefully designed to be durable, efficient, and easy to maintain. Rallon tubes are stiff and light, giving excellent steering precision and pedaling efficiency. Rallon carbon frame is extremely resistant to corrosion, making it perfect for road. With only a minimum amount of maintenance, it’s easy to keep your Rallon in top condition.

1) Keep your mountain bike clean Washing your bike with mild soap and water will keep you looking stylish and allow you to check the condition of the frame and components. Dont’s use high water pressure and avoid spraying water into bearings or frame tubes. Citrus degreasers are biodegradeable and do a great job of removing dirty grease from gears and chain.

2) Keep your mountain bike lubed Once your bike is clean, it’s a good time to put fresh lube on the chain. Use only enough to get inside the links and wipe off any excess because it will attract dirt. Headset and pivot bearings should be inspected every few months for smoothness and to ensure that the seals are intact and lube is clean.

3) Inspect your mountain bike before you ride

AFTER A CRASH OR IMPACT

Do a quick check before every ride to make sure your bike is in excellent condition. It is very common to discover small issues at home that can become big problems on the trail. CHAIN Is the chain dirty, noisy or dry? Clean and lube your chain before riding. BRAKES Check your brakes to make sure they are working correctly. Check for missing/loose caliper and rotor bolts. TIRES Look for damage to the sidewalls of your tires. Check and adjust tire pressure. WHEELS Spin the wheels and look for wobbles, check for loose or broken spokes. Check quick release levers to make sure they are functioning properly. FRONT END Stand over the saddle, pull on the brakes and rock the bike back and forth. Feel for any play or knocking that might indicate a loose headset, loose brake rotors or calipers, or worn fork bushings. TEST RIDE Take a quick ride up and down the street to make sure your bike is shifting and braking properly. Listen for unusual noises.

Falling is part of riding and it’s impossible to avoid minor accidents. If you crash your Rallon, please make sure you are okay and seek medical attention if necessary. If you are not injured, you should check your bike before continuing: 1) Inspect your frame and components for damage. Do not ride your bike if any problems are detected.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR Inspect Frame and fork for evidence of cracking or bending. If cracks are discovered, discontinue use immediately.

Check the drivetrain and spin the wheels to make sure components are operating correctly. If you discover damage to your components, discontinue use immediately.

Even if you don’t find any damage, pay careful attention to the sound of your bike when you continue riding. Unusual noises can be caused by cracks or other problems. A well-maintained bike will be quiet and free of creaks or squeaks. Investigate and locate the source of any new noises.

2) Bring your bike to your Orbea dealer for professional inspection. Some damage can only be detected by disassembling the bike to check for cracks or other signs of stress.

A crash or impact can put extraordinary stress on your bike and components, causing them to fail or to fatigue prematurely. Failure can happen suddenly with no warning, causing loss of control, serious injury or death.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Aluminium Orbea frames are carefully designed to be durable, efficient and easy to care for. The over-sized, hydroformed tubes are stiff and light, giving excellent steering precision and pedaling efficiency. Aluminium is extremely resistant to corrosion, making it perfect for riding off road. With only a minimum amount of maintenande, it’s easy to keep your Rallon in top condition.

PRESSURE AND REBOUND CLICKS: The values provided in the chart are just a starting point, in order to achieve maximum performance the shock setup should be suited to the rider and terrain.

COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENT FOR KIRK SHOCK: 12 clicks counted from completely open is the recomended starting point both for low speed and high speed compresion damping.

SETTING HIGH-SPEED COMPRESSION (HSC)

SETTING LOW-SPEED COMPRESSION (LSC)

USING THE PEDAL EFFICIENCY LEVER

Sag is the measurement of how much the suspension compresses (or sags) under body weight. Orbea recommends between 27-33% (17-21MM) for the Rallon R4. Less sag will give a firmer ride that climbs and pedals more efficiently, more sag will make the suspension softer and more bump-sensitive, giving more control at high speeds in rough terrain.

You will need a shock pump to adjust sag via the air spring valve. Make sure the Pedal Efficiency Lever is OFF. Ensure that the o-ring on the shock shaft is pushed all the way up against the shock body and mount your bike with your riding gear on (to mimic riding weight). It might be handy to lean the handlebar against a wall for balance, or have a friend help you hold the bike. Without bouncing, sit on the saddle and lift your feet off the ground so the shock compresses.

If you feel like you’ve bounced and pushed the ring too far, put the o-ring back against the shock body and try again. Gently get off your bike. The distance the o-ring traveled from the shock body is the sag measurement. With your shock pump, either increase or decrease pressure in the air spring to reach the desired measurement. Remove the shock pump from the shock each time before re-checking sag.

High-speed compression damping (red knob) controls how your suspension compresses under quick, high impact forces such as square edge hits and harsh landings. Impacts that cause your suspension to compress deeply and rapidly will generally be controlled with the HSC setting.

Start at the midpoint (12 clicks) and adjust HSC to achieve a balance between effectively using travel and bottoming out.

Low-speed compression (grey knob) controls shock sensitivity - cornering traction and bike stabilization under braking forces or weight shifts. Brake dive and pedal “bob” are tuned out by adding more LSC at the expense of losing plushness and traction.

Start at the midpoint (12 clicks) and adjust LSC to achieve a balance between sensitivity over small bumps and a bike that remains stable under braking forces or weight shifts.

( 17-21MM )

SETTING REBOUND The opposite of compression damping, rebound damping (black knob) controls how quickly the shock extends to stabilize the bike and manage traction. Too much rebound damping will make the rear end feel stiff and cause the rear tire to skip over chatter. Too little will cause the suspension to bounce back too rapidly and compromise control.

Start at the midpoint (12 clicks) and adjust rebound to achieve a balance between quick, plush recovery and stability after larger impacts.
